Arachnids are arthropods such as Spiders , scorpions, ticks and mites. Arthropods are invertebrates , which means they do not have a backbone. Arthropods have an external skeleton (exoskeleton ) and limbs with joints . Arachnids have four pairs of legs and two other pairs of 'limbs' which are modified for different functions. These are the chelicarae ("jaws"), used for feeding and defence, and pedipalps , used for feeding, locomotion and sometimes reproduction. They also do not have antennae ("feelers") or wings. Their body is divided into two parts: a prosoma (or cephalothorax - combined head and thorax) bearing the legs and an opistosoma (or abdomen).

Arachnology is the scientific study of spiders and related organism such as scorpions, pseudoscorpions,harvestment callectively called arachnids.
